Frequently Asked Questions

What is an EPUB file and why convert it to PDF?

EPUB (Electronic Publication) is the standard eBook format used by most non-Amazon eReaders (Kobo, Apple Books, Google Books). Unlike PDF, EPUB text reflows to fit any screen size. Converting to PDF creates a fixed-layout document suitable for printing, sharing via email, embedding in presentations, archiving, or reading on devices and apps that do not support EPUB.

Will the chapter structure be preserved in the PDF?

Yes — the converter reads the EPUB's table of contents and chapter metadata. Each chapter is rendered as a new section in the PDF, and the chapter titles are preserved as PDF bookmarks (outlines) so the PDF is navigable. This is particularly important for longer eBooks with many chapters, as it allows the reader to jump directly to any section using the PDF bookmarks panel.

Does the converter support EPUB 2 and EPUB 3?

Yes — both EPUB 2 and EPUB 3 are supported. EPUB 3 is the current standard and includes richer features such as embedded audio, video, scripted interactivity and enhanced metadata. When converting to PDF, non-visual elements (audio, video, scripts) are omitted, but text, images, tables, headings and basic formatting are preserved faithfully. Most eBooks are EPUB 2 or EPUB 3 format.

What happens to images and illustrations inside the EPUB?

Images embedded in the EPUB (cover images, illustrations, diagrams, photo inserts) are extracted and placed at their original position within the converted PDF pages. Image quality depends on the source resolution in the EPUB file — if the eBook contained high-resolution images, they will appear sharp in the PDF. Low-resolution EPUB images will appear at the same quality in the output.

Can I convert DRM-protected EPUB files?

No — DRM (Digital Rights Management) protected EPUB files cannot be converted by this tool. DRM is an encryption system used by publishers to prevent unauthorised copying. If you receive an error when uploading your EPUB, it is likely DRM-protected. Only DRM-free EPUB files (common with open-access eBooks, Project Gutenberg titles, or eBooks you have created yourself) can be converted.

Will the fonts look the same in the PDF?

The converter uses the fonts specified in the EPUB's CSS stylesheet. If the EPUB embeds its fonts (common in modern EPUB 3 files), those fonts will be used in the PDF. If the EPUB references web fonts or system fonts not embedded in the file, the converter will substitute a standard serif or sans-serif fallback. The layout and readability are preserved even with font substitution.

How large will the output PDF be compared to the EPUB?

PDF files are generally larger than EPUB files because PDF stores fixed-layout page data rather than reflowable text. A typical 300KB EPUB novel might produce a 1–3MB PDF. EPUBs with many embedded images will produce larger PDFs. The exact size depends on the number of pages rendered, image resolution and font embedding. PDFs are optimised to be as compact as possible during conversion.

Can I set the PDF page size (A4, Letter, etc.)?

Yes — you can choose the output page size before converting: A4 (210×297mm, standard in Europe, Asia and most of the world), US Letter (8.5×11 inches, standard in North America), A5 (148×210mm, compact book size), or keep the EPUB's original dimensions. Choose A4 or Letter for printing and office use; A5 for booklet-style output.

Does the tool support EPUB files with tables and code blocks?

Yes — tables defined in EPUB HTML are rendered as formatted PDF tables. Code blocks (common in programming eBooks) are rendered with monospace font and preserved indentation. Mathematical notation in MathML format (used in academic and scientific eBooks) is also supported. These elements are handled by the HTML-to-PDF rendering engine used in the conversion process.

Is my eBook file sent to any server?

No — EPUB files are processed entirely within your browser using JavaScript. No file data is transmitted to any server at any stage. This is especially important for unpublished manuscripts, personal documents or copyrighted materials you are converting for personal use. The conversion happens locally on your device and the output PDF is generated directly in your browser.
